Question:

has he been checked for epilepsy – sometimes stimulation can cause a seizure and they can be active ones depending on where the current goes awry make sure your estimates for a consult are correct – my friend paid far less than that and only had to wait a week or so to get in to see a veterinary behaviorist at the closest vet school Nancy

Hi I recently rescued a small mix from a shelter & was told he has obessive compulsive disorder by 2 vets.  I started him on anti depressants, but so far no change.  Any high level stimulation sends him into a spinning, biting himself, screaming frenzy.  YES, I did say screaming. OK any behaviorists got any insite into a modification program for this guy.  Regular vets have not given me a good success rate at getting this under control.  I know there are dog behaviorists at the teaching hospital, but the cost is over 500.00 & the wait long.  I will take him if need be as his behavior is very stressful on all of us. Thanks for any info Ginny

     You will have to be more specific about the behavior, spinning and screaming is not a typical symptom of an obsessive behavior. Steve * Sent from RemarQ http://www.remarq.com The Internet’s Discussion Network * The fastest and easiest way to search and participate in Usenet – Free!
